Drawing is one of my top subjects! Following the model of "The New Drawing on the Right-Side of the Brain" by Betty Edwards leads even the most hesitant student to proficiency--and some to mastery! This approach works in my classroom and is proven to work with students of all ages.

I am a career teacher of Visual Arts within the Fine Arts Department of an International Baccalaureate World School in the Triangle. Additionally, I am a practicing artist with experience as a business owner and arts administrator. In 2012-2013 students of mine won two first place awards and one third in a national juried show, took nine wins in local and regional juried shows, and placed fifth in the Congressional Arts Competition.

My comments on tutoring Drawing : Still Life, Portraits, Nonobjective, Scenery.

In Nassau, Bahamas, after graduating from high school in 2006, my grandmother encouraged me to take an Adobe Photoshop class that was being held at a nearby Technical School. I had know clue of how powerful a tool Photoshop was, but I thought I'd give attending that class a try because my grandmother told me that graphic design was the industry of the future. I fell in love with Photoshop's photo-manipulation capabilities, and I crashed about 3 computers in that year playing with this powerful design software like a kid with a coloring book. Fastforward 10 years and now I am a Photoshop expert. I've attained a Associates Degree in Digital Media Art, a Bachelors Degree in Studio Art, and I have added many other graphic design programs to my skill set. Graphic Design is just as much my passion as it is my job, and although I consider myself an experienced designer, I am continuously lea ... read more

Drawing is one of my top subjects!

I usually start off teaching the student basic utensil knowledge and slowly branch into oils from acrylic, first with no color so they will learn to see temperature. After we will learn the importance of white and how to not overuse such a strong hue. After this we will work from still-lives and also self-portraiture.
I have been painting for 6+ years and am very willing to share my knowledge of the tricky medium to anyone willing to learn it. Oils are my forte however I've worked in most other mediums a time or two. My current work is fully abstract but I have plenty of images of works that show my technical expertise.

Teaching is an exciting profession for me. I believe all kids including the most intellectually disabled can learn. I believe in setting high but realistic goals for students. Learning starts before children enter school and should be integrated between home and school. I am a firm believer in laying strong foundations in the lower grades, and building upon this as the child develops. Teaching children through systematic and explicit instruction has worked best for the students in my classes. Teaching children basic knowledge and then applying those skills to real-world experiences is my method of choice. I am a dedicated teacher and care about my students’ progress.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that children must be engaged in the subject matter before successful learning takes place. Finding fun, interesting, and personal ways for the child to connect to the topic will truly allow them a chance to learn and retain information. I love finding different ways for individual learners to understand what they are being taught.
I am a senior in the Education program at Appalachian State University. As an Elementary Education major, I have worked closely with children from many age levels. I have participated in an after-school tutor/mentor program at Appalachian State in 2008. In 2009, I completed two internships while in the Education Program. One working with 2nd grade students and the other with 5th grade students. I have also taken many courses to understand context and teaching strategies in all subject areas.

More About This Tutor...

I have always loved learning and have earned several degrees in Psychology (BA), Art (AA), Spanish (Minor) and Psychometry (Tests and Measurement) (EdS) and continue to educate myself (School Psychology, PhD candidate), all of which have centered around learning and instruction. In addition, having worked in the schools for over 6 years has allowed me to learn the process by which many teachers instruct and I have developed a repertoire of helpful strategies and interventions that are based in scientific research. As part of my job in the public schools I have an extensive knowledge of tests and evaluations as well as experience working with students with unique learning styles.
I have children of my own and have always enjoyed experiencing learning through their eyes and observing the different ways in which they learn. I am comfortable working with all age ranges and can accommo ... read more

I have raised and tutored two children and two grand children. In the early seventies I was a tutor for a Canadian third grader through Operation Share at Mesa Community College San Diego Ca where I was studying elementary education. From 1985 through 1987 I worked at a domestic violence shelter often working with the children of abused women to help them stay current in school. Most were elementary school age. During that time I also volunteered for C.A.P.P (Child Assault Prevention Project) which taught elementary age children techniques avoid physical and sexual assault. I am currently enroled in a Teachers Assistant program through Alamanmce Comunity college. I taught pre-school to three year olds at Kiddie Kollege in Findlay Ohio from 1978-1981.

As a Theater Arts Educator, I have worn many hats. It never ceases to amaze me that each lesson I prepare for my theater classes also includes a grammar, math, science and history lesson too! Theater works on building one's self-esteem. I feel that self-esteem is a crucial building block for all learning. In addition to theater, I have taught public speaking, speech and debate as well as reading. I have experience teaching students of all ages.

I have a passion for the subject matter that I teach, as did my most effective teachers in the past. It is important to care about what you are teaching and try to incorporate elements that the learner will find interesting. I want to motivate my students and envoke that same passion to utilize all of their learning tools. I am patient and understanding.
In the course of my experiences and education, I have demonstrated my motivation, energy, and passion for caring and helping in an educational setting. I spent a semester as a full time volunteer teacher in two Head Start classrooms; and tutored middle school students my senior year of college. Both of these experiences has taught me patience, understanding, and effective tutoring techniques. As a human development major, I feel attuned to the mental health issues and developmental needs that students face.

My teaching style is simple. As it has not been professionally nurtured I have taken my ques from those I have taught. It is simply to provide what is needed. I prefer to spend time with a student and learn what works for them. I believe trial of multiple styles to find success is critical to each student. Additionally, there is nothing wrong with having fun while you learn!
As the child of a school system administrative professional, I have always spent extra time in the school environment. As a high school freshman I began to tutor elementary school students based on the needs highlighted by their teachers. I spent a lot of time working one on one with English as a secound language students. I assisted with their writting, reading, and basic math skills. Additionally I work particularly well with withdrawn children who need special attention.

I believe that it is my role, as a teacher, to facilitate a love for learning within all students. By appealing to their interest, in the context of the work we are doing, and allowing them to invest in their own education I hope to create life long learners. I believe in setting goals and expectations and meeting the student where they are then working together to meet those goals. I also believe in differentiating my instruction to better fit the student I am working with, not every student learns the same way and I need to cater to all student individual needs to better help them achieve.Whether in a classroom or a personal setting it is my goal to help student find their passion for learning so that the motivation to learn is intrinsic for their lives.

A Little Bit About Me...

I began tutoring Spanish as an undergraduate twenty-five years ago. In college, graduate school and as a professor I wrote literary analyses in Spanish, English and Portuguese. Many of these papers were written from historical, sociological or psychoanalytic perspectives. I taught all levels of undergraduate Spanish, and some graduate courses. I have taught English as a second language. I have basic vocabuary skills in Arabic, Russian and French and can ask and answer basic questions in Russian and French. I also have a knowledge of the written alphabet in Russian.
My teaching style for Spanish is proficiency-based, culture-based and student-centered. My college students master basic Spanish vocabulary and grammar through writing grocery lists, ordering from a menu, describing how they are feeling, and even decorating skull cookies for the Day of the Dead. On a similar note, I te ... read more
